Nephrology Didactics
Didactics will be broadly broken down into two categories: medical knowledge and career development.
Medical Knowledge: This series will provide foundational concepts to prepare you for the Boards and clinical practice as a competent nephrologist. Each month will be broken into specific learning competencies identified by the ABIM Nephrology Blueprint to provide a focused and deliberate education. For example, one month will be focused on Chronic Kidney Disease topics while the next month will cover Glomerulonephritis topics. We will deliver this series through a variety of lectures:
- Professor Lectures
- Biopsy Conferences
- Journal Club
- Nephrology Grand Rounds
- Book Club
- M&M Conferences
- Research Presentations
Career Development: This series will focus on the business of nephrology. Our goal at Texas Tech is to provide you with a holistic education, which includes the foundational knowledge to navigate your career successfully and achieve your professional goals.
- Faculty Development Academic Series: Through a partnership with the Office of Faculty Development, we will explore topics to become a successful academic nephrologist.
- Private Practice Series: Through a partnership with Fresenius, we will explore concepts like market analysis, medical directorship, and investment opportunities as a nephrologist.
- Miscellaneous: We will invite other experts in their fields to discuss general financial literacy, billing, and insurance topics.
Additionally, we will support second year fellows attendance at ASN Conference to further develop their exposure to the growing field of Nephrology.
